Add Work Order feedback for Failure Analysis

Purpose

Analyse why the Asset Component failed (causing the breakdown and associated downtimes) and record how it was repaired.

Before you start

Configure Failure Analysis items in the Asset Care Plans module.
Configure possible Failure Analysis combinations for each Asset Type Component, which are inherited by the Asset Components for Assets that are based on the Asset Type.
Link Downtimes to a Work Order on the Downtimes for Work Order Tasks window.

How to… Add feedback for Work Order Failure Analysis

1. Click Maintenance Manager - Work Orders then .
The Work Order edit window opens.

2. Enter the Work Order’s Code in the “search” field and click to find the Work Order and populate the Work Order edit window.

3. Analyse the Asset Component’s failure.

4. Select the appropriate Failure Analysis combination on the Work Order - Feedback tab.
If Use Global Lookup lists is not ticked then select the appropriate Failure Analysis combination from all combinations configured for the specific Asset.
If Use Global Lookup lists is ticked then select the appropriate Failure Analysis combination from all combinations configured for all Assets.

5. If the appropriate Failure Analysis combination is not available in a lookup list then select the applicable data values.

6. Save the record.

As a result...

If the system option Select Failure Analysis from Global Lookup Lists by default is set then Use Global Lookup Lists is ticked on the Work Order - Feedback tab and the appropriate Failure Analysis combination is selected from combinations configured for all Asset Components.

Business rules

The Type of Work specified for the Work Order (on the Work Order - Planning tab) determines the required level of analysis.
Failure Analysis is enforced when the Work Order is closed. The Failure Analysis Required fields that are ticked on the Type of Work - Details tab determine what must be recorded.
- Failed Component
- Failure Type
- Failure
- Root Cause
- Repair Type

Please note!

Failure Analyses is about fixing the Asset.
The applicable Failure Type, Failure, Root Cause and Repair Type for Failure Analysis should be configured on the Asset Type Component - Details tab.
Failure analysis is limited to the major Asset Components.
The Failed Component identifies the physical Asset Component that failed.
The Analysis Component determines the level of detail at which the organisation decides to do failure analysis.
